Anasazi ruins in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Those people saw their civilization end the last time western North America experienced a significant regional climate warming event and associated long-term drought. With increasing certainty it appears another such event is unfolding. What will happen to our civilization? Will it more adeptly adapt to the difficult circumstances or will we suffer the same fate as the Anasazi, to wit, collapse of our civilization? Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved). |
